~ With no change in voice, Anthony softly said to us, “See the lions?”, pointing to the right of the safari van. At first the pair of Panthera leo seemed imperceptible. How was it possible to spot two carnivores at rest in distant grass? After spotting them, it was a surprise to note how near they were to the airstrip. The only other signs of life were swallows flying low towards the lions, unintimidated thanks to their superb flying skills. These were not at all the final big cats that we'd observe in the safari, but they were the only cats that we'd encounter in Meru National Park.
